Advanced flight operations encompass GPS-denied environments, manual flying, and offshore operations. These scenarios require skilled piloting without GPS assistance and demand a deep understanding of the DeltaQuad Evo and its controls. Only experienced pilots should attempt these maneuvers, as they involve navigating without GPS, which can complicate situational awareness and precision. A deep understanding of the Flight chapter is essential for maintaining stability and control in challenging conditions. Always prioritize safety and preparedness in such operations.
The following parameters can be adjusted for special operations in AMC Menu (Advanced Mode) -> Advanced -> Parameters.
Search for the parameter that needs to be changed.
Set the value and save it.
MPC_MAX_HOVER_T
Default: 90 Max: 150
The DeltaQuad Evo's default maximum hover time is 90 seconds, but this can be extended to a maximum of 150 seconds. After the timeout, the vehicle will automatically force-land at its current location. Adjusting this value may be necessary for offshore operations.
COM_WIND_MAX
Default: 14 Max: -1 (off)
By default, the DeltaQuad Evo can tolerate a maximum windspeed of 14 m/s. This limit can be disabled if a mission must be completed regardless of wind conditions.
COM_WIND_MAX_ACT
Default: Return Optional: Warning
The maximum windspeed action can be changed to a warning. By default, the vehicle will return if the windspeed exceeds the tolerance limits.
If arming without GPS is not possible, set the following parameter to Allow arming without GPS.
COM_ARM_WO_GPS
The warranty will be void if any incident occurs as a result of changes made to the parameters.
